Miss Butler County

As we get closer to Miss Kansas week, it’s bittersweet looking back on just how much this organization has impacted my life💌 Twelve years ago, I was a Little Sister attending my first ever Miss Kansas, and since then I can’t remember a summer that wasn’t spent at the Miss Kansas competition. When I was 14 years old, I decided to compete in my first Teen local. That year wasn’t my year but instead of giving up, it only strengthened my determination to keep chasing my dreams. Over the years, that ambition has continued to grow. Just within the three years I have been competing in the Miss division I have raised more than $3,000, made over 40 appearances across the region, and impacted more than 1,000 students, educators, and community members through my work and advocacy. Beyond the titles and accomplishments, this organization has given me something even more valuable, confidence. Miss Kansas challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone, find my voice, and believe in my abilities. The interview, communication, and public speaking skills I have developed through this organization helped me earn my dream job and become one of only 10 Kansas college students selected to receive a prestigious scholarship from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters. The opportunities I’ve been given through this organization have shaped who I am both personally and professionally. I owe so much to this organization. Miss Kansas has given me opportunities, confidence, lifelong friendships, and a platform to make a difference. Without it, I would not be the woman I am today. As I prepare for another Miss Kansas week, my heart is filled with gratitude for every lesson, every challenge, every mentor, and every moment that has led me here. No matter what happens on stage, this journey has already changed my life forever💚

Miss Kansas Orientation ✅
This weekend in Pratt marked our final stop before Miss Kansas Week and it couldn’t have been more fun! 🤗🤗 I had so much fun reconnecting and making new friendships with my sisters! I also had the honor of delivering my “Show Me Your Shoes” parade shoe to the Historical Pratt Museum, which is also home of the Miss Kansas Museum. Seeing the gowns and memorabilia of former Miss Kansas titleholders was so special!
A huge thank you to .palette for bringing my vision to life, my shoe is truly everything I dreamed of and more! I can’t wait to bring Royals pride to the Miss Kansas parade 💙⚾️
I’m leaving this weekend feeling so grateful, inspired, and even more excited for what’s ahead. Pratt, I’ll see you again very soon… Miss Kansas, I’m ready for you 🩷🤗💐

Heart disease isn’t just something that affects people over the age of 50, it’s happening NOW and it’s affecting women like never before.
Recent research shows that heart attack deaths are rising among younger adults, with young women experiencing higher rates.�Cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer of women.
This is why I’m proud to support the American Heart Association ❤️�An organization that is working every single day to raise awareness, and empower women to take control of their heart health.
Through the Miss Kansas Organization as a local title holder I have the opportunity to make a real impact, and YOU can be a part of it.

No better way to celebrate National Dress Day than picking up my Miss Kansas gown 🤗🤗🤗
Miss Lisa and are truly a dream team! When I first started shopping for gowns, I had a vision but couldn’t quite picture exactly what I wanted. Lisa helped bring that vision to life in the most beautiful way!
After 5 long months of waiting, my dream dress is finally here, and I can’t wait to showcase it in just a few short months at Miss Kansas!
A huge thank you to Miss Lisa for always dressing me in the most beautiful gowns over the years. I’m so honored to be on the legacy wall and forever proud to be a Natalie M. Girl!
Another big thank you to Jovani for the special goodies that came with my dress! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
What color do you think my dress is?👀👀👀

Day 2 of SEL WEEK!! 💙
Research shows that students with strong social and emotional skills are better prepared for future careers and lifelong success. That’s why I use hands on activities to help equip students with essential SEL skills they can use both inside and outside the classroom.
This , let’s amplify the importance of social and emotional learning and celebrate how SEL empowers students to build the confidence, resilience, and leadership skills they need to thrive!

HAPPY SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING DAY💙
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire skills to manage emotions, set goals, show empathy, maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. It is an essential part of education that fosters self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making.
Join me this week as I highlight the importance of SEL and celebrate SEL week!💙
